Slide Deck ISWC 2011 - Presentation of SEMIC.EU at the 10th International Semantic Web Conference in October 2011

This presentation introduces the initiative of the Semantic Interoperability Centre Europe (SEMIC.EU) to agree on a vocabulary for the description of so-called semantic interoperability assets  to support publication, exchange and re-use of these assets, which include among others containers of code lists, taxonomies, data models, and full-fledged ontologies. This vocabulary, the Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS), provides a common description approach that allows the information about the assets to be published on the Web as Linked Open Data. The publication of asset description metadata on the Web will allow the developers and users of electronic public services (eGovernment services) to more easily find, re-use semantic interoperability assets and analyse the semantic differences between countries and domains. This presentation discusses how SEMIC.EU aims to build consensus on the ADMS, in close collaboration with eGovernment representatives of the EU Member States, technical experts, and other stakeholders. In addition, this presentation gives a demonstration of a prototype of a federated asset repository developed by the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) that federates the Danish Digitalisér.dk, the German XRepository, and the SEMIC.EU asset repository, using the ADMS.
